| DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Dec. 19, 2017) – On the heels of record-breaking contingency postings from Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle (two of the biggest in flat track history), American Flat Track is nearing the $2 million mark in rider contingency, with generous postings from long-time series partners and supporters of the sport: Dunlop Motorcycle Tires, Sunoco, Arai Helmet, S&S Cycle, Husqvarna Motorcycles, American Honda, Yamaha Motor Corp., Kawasaki Motor Corp. – and more coming soon.
The current dollar availability breakdowns look like this:
Harley-Davidson: $562,500 Indian Motorcycle: $358,000 Kawasaki Motors Corp.: $356,100 Yamaha Motor Corp.: $211,500 Husqvarna Motorcycles: $88,700 S&S Cycle: $80,500 American Honda: $68,160 Dunlop Motorcycle Tires: $54,000 Arai Helmet: $45,800 Sunoco: $15,500 TOTAL: $1,840,760
These companies – and others who will post in the coming weeks – realize the benefits that come with series support and contingency postings. They include high-visibility brand exposure through AFT’s NBCSN broadcasts, FansChoice.tv live stream coverage, enthusiast media coverage, AFT web and social postings, and fan exposure at AFT events themselves.
By supporting the AFT series and its rider-athletes through such generous contingency offerings, the plans generate additional enthusiasm for flat track racing, and keep the teams’ excitement levels high – a big plus for fans and viewers.
